BOOKSDRAMA Chapter 2310
Terminating the collaboration with Darcey Group at such a critical juncture, wouldn't that be adding insult to injury? Wouldn't that prove our disloyalty and untrustworthiness? There was no way Elisa would do that.
"If you don't want to collaborate with me, we can end our partnership."
The implication was clear. Elisa refused to end her collaboration with Darcey Group.
Gareth's expression darkened immediately after hearing that. She would rather set boundaries with me than break ties with Will just because he sits in a wheelchair and puts on a pitiful facade?
Given the circumstances, Gareth pointed to his chest and said, "Liz, as a doctor, you should know my condition better than I do. Do you think that just because you got the antidote from Carrick, I would be completely cured? Liz, there are always after-effects. Just because I don't mention them doesn't mean they don't exist."
He lowered his voice, but the huskiness in his tone conveyed his grievances.
Ultimately, it was because Winslow was there. Otherwise, he would have lost control long ago.
Elisa fell silent.
The intent behind Gareth's sudden barrage of words was crystal clear to Elisa. However, the question was, what could be changed by comparing and dwelling on those things now?
"That's what I mean," Gareth responded straightforwardly.
"Do you see me as an emperor who needs to treat everyone fairly? Moreover, if I were to truly act in such a manner, how would you perceive me, and how would the world perceive me?"
People always said that men and women were equal, but throughout history, when had men and women truly been equal?
If a man was frivolous, he would be considered charming.
If a woman was frivolous, she would be labeled as a loose woman.
Moreover, the country was still practicing monogamy at that time.
She certainly didn't have such intentions.
"In that case, you need to choose between Will and me-"
"I can't choose Will when I'm with you, can I?" Elisa interrupted Gareth's words with
a light laugh. Her single sentence struck a nerve in Gareth's heart.
If Gareth truly wished it, he wouldn't be here at that moment, and he certainly wouldn't have uttered those words to her.
"Fine. I'll handle the matters of our collaboration myself. There's no need for you to worry. I've had a long day. I need a good rest." Elisa didn't want to say anything more to Gareth.
She pulled the door, and without waiting for Gareth to say anything else, she shut the door in front of him.
Then, Elisa meticulously inspected the items Linda brought for her. The gift was a set of jewelry from a luxury brand and some clothes.
However, upon closer inspection, one would notice issues with the stitching of the clothing.
In other words, once she wore that outfit out, if a thread were to come loose or be pulled, her body would be exposed to everyone, resulting in public humiliation.
Linda's gift... Ha! She still hasn't lost her knack for scheming. Of course, Elisa had not let her guard down either.
"It's rare to see you stand up for yourself like this. If you're considering rekindling any romance, Gareth, Eden, and Will are definitely out of the question. Let me tell you. I'm going to take a page out of those wicked mothers-in-law from TV dramas. I won't agree to it!" Content belongs to Novelxo.org
"Uncle Winslow, I actually have a vague idea about my identity. If I don't have the time to go there, could she possibly find some time to come here?" As she spoke those words, Elisa clenched her palms

She had made the decision to
investigate, which demonstrated her
trust in Winslow. She opted to
believe that the woman had faced challenges. Furthermore, Elisa desired to provide that woman with a chance to clarify her situation. Content belongs to Novelxo.org
